JUDGMENT OF THE VALUATION TRIBUNAL

ISSUED ON THE 20TH DAY OF DECEMBER, 1988

By notice of appeal dated the 24th day of August, 1988, Mr. Desmond Holmes on behalf of the

Snooker Club appealed against the respondents decision fixing the rateable valuation of the

above described hereditaments at £175.

In the course of his written submission dated 24th August, 1988 Mr Holmes said that the

valuation was based on an inflated rating originally set in 1981/82. Snooker clubs or halls do not

command the same high rental as retail premises. Retail premises have, in general, the highest

rental obtainable for practically any commercial property.
